  The temple is situated in Beima Village, Fucheng Town, Lingchuan County, Gaoping City, Shanxi Province, and is a cultural relic protection unit of Shanxi Province. The Jade Emperor Temple faces south and has a single-courtyard layout. It measures 32.9 meters from north to south and 26.1 meters from east to west, covering an area of 859 square meters.

Along the central axis are the mountain gate (modified) and the main hall, flanked by side halls and wing rooms. The eastern wing room has been modified.

  The main hall is five bays wide and six rafters deep, with a single-eave hanging gable roof. The beam frame consists of five rafters, with bracket sets supporting the eaves. The front eaves columns are independent, and the rear eaves columns are connected to the gable walls. There are brackets on the second and third rafters, and the front and rear eaves are supported by bracket sets. The second and third rafters on both the front and rear sides are respectively connected to the front and rear walls, and the front and rear eaves beams are respectively connected to the front and rear walls.

  The temple is now largely intact.
